Geofencing Setup

Geofencing Setup

Geofences create virtual boundaries around your job sites. They power automatic reminders and location verification.

What is Geofencing?

A geofence is an invisible boundary around a location. When a crew member crosses this boundary, Geowork can:

• Send a reminder to clock in
• Automatically verify their location
• Alert supervisors to crew arrivals

Setting Up Geofences

Each job site automatically gets a geofence. To adjust:

1. Go to Settings > Job Sites
2. Select a job site
3. Adjust the Geofence Radius
4. Save changes

Recommended Radius Settings

• Residential sites: 300-500 feet
• Commercial sites: 500-1,000 feet
• Large industrial sites: 1,000+ feet

Geofence Notifications

Configure what happens when crew members enter/leave geofences:

• Clock-in reminder: “You’ve arrived at [Site]. Don’t forget to clock in.”
• Supervisor alert: Notify foremen when crews arrive
• Auto clock-out reminder: “You’ve left [Site]. Did you clock out?”

Tips

• Start with larger geofences and tighten over time
• Account for parking areas outside the main site
• Test geofences with a crew member before rollout
